Why Dating Your Spouse is IMPORTANT right now

Why I’ve been quiet? I’ve struggled with posting daily to talk about dating your spouse when there is so much turmoil happening around us. I wanted to be respectful while each of us works through our feelings, work through what impact the new administration will have on our lives, whether positive or negative. In trying to process what’s happening around us, we have to remember first world problems are not our marriage problems and shouldn’t keep us from having regular date nights. Dating your spouse is important ALWAYS but definitely when things are unstable around you.

I shied away from posting as not to seem insensitive but the thing is I shouldn’t shy away. During troubled times is when we need to stay close to our spouse & rely on that healthy foundation the date nights have provided for our marriages. It’s important that I stay consistent with each of you and my message. It’s important that I give you guys something else to think about that can distract you from any worries you may have (not only politically but life issues).

Today, I want to encourage you not to allow the weight of the world to halt the date nights and quality time you have with your spouse.

More so ever, you need a distraction now. So take time away from the TV, the internet or even around folks that want to just talk talk talk about world events.

We all need mental breaks sometimes. I’m big on self-care and marriage care. Make sure you are getting a good helping of both.

Plan a date that will allow you to escape from real world problems. It could be as simple as going bowling or checking into a hotel for the weekend and enjoying the hotel amenities. Whatever you do, don’t allow the news media to stress you to a point where that stress is causing issues in your marriage.
